Ian Tyson Navajo Rug Lyrics:
[Key A]

[A]
Well, it’s two eggs up on whiskey toast,
[Bm]
Home fries on the side

Wash ‘er down with roadhouse coffee,
[E]
Burns up your insides.
[A]
Just a Cañon, Colorado, diner
[Bm]
And a waitress I did love.
[D]
I sat in the back ‘neath an old stuffed bear
[E]
And a worn out Navajo rug.

Old Jack, the boss, he left at six
And it’s Katy, bar the door.
She pulled down that Navajo rug
And she spread it ‘cross the floor.

Hey, I saw lightning cross the Sacred Mountains,
Saw the woven turtle doves.
I was lyin’ next to Katy
On that ol’ Navajo rug.

[Chorus:]
[A Fm D E]
Aye, aye, aye, Katy, shades of red and blue.
[A Fm D E A]
Aye, aye, aye, Katy, whatever became of the Navajo rug and you,
[Fm D E]
Katy, shades of red and blue.

I saw Ol’ Jack about a year ago.
He said “The place burned to the ground
And all I saved was this ol’ bear tooth
And Katy, she’s left town.
But Katy, she got her souvenir too.”
Jack spat a tobacco plug.
“You shoulda seen her comin’ through the smoke
Draggin’ that Navajo rug.” [Ch.]

So every time I cross the Sacred Mountains
And lightning breaks above
It always takes me back in time
To my long lost Katy love.
But everything keeps on a-movin’,
Everybody’s on the go.
You don’t find things that last any more
Like an old woven Navajo. [Ch.]
